This splendid antique bill of exchange is a commercial "Segunda de Cambio" (bill of exchange) issued in Jerez de la Frontera (Spain) on August 20, 1895. The document boasts an extraordinary intaglio header from the renowned winery firm "Gutiérrez Hermanos," famous historic producers of Sherry wine (Jerez) and Brandy. The form features a detailed central engraving showing the interior of the majestic historic cellars rich with casks (the traditional bodegas). # Description and analysis of the document * Financial transaction: The bill orders payment of the substantial sum of 2,102.25 pesetas ("Por Ptas 2102.25"). The amount is payable to the order of the "Sres. J. Navallas y C.ª", a noted exporting trading firm. * International context: The title is addressed to Cucuta, Colombia (indicated at the bottom left: "A la Sra. Micaela C. de Olave, Cucuta - Rep. de Colombia"), highlighting the dense commercial routes of Andalusian wine toward South America at the end of the 19th century. * Marks and stamps: On the right stands the beautiful blue-ink oval stamp of the recipient company "J. Navallas y C.ª - Jerez de la Frontera," bearing internal registry number 251813. At bottom left there is the elaborate brown ink autograph signature of the Gutiérrez brothers. # Important figures and industrial context 1. Gutiérrez Hermanos: Founded in the 19th century in Jerez, it was one of the most awarded and prominent wineries in Andalusia. The header proudly features medals won at major exhibitions of the era: the Veracruz Exposition of 1892 and the First Industrial Exposition of Querétaro in 1882 in Mexico, proof of their very strong ties with the American market. 2. J. Navallas y C.ª: An important consortium of commercial intermediaries based in Jerez that handled transatlantic shipments of luxury spirits. # Commercial value estimate Financial documents from the late 1800s related to the history of wine, historic cellars, and liquor export are among the most sought-after in Scripophily and paper collectibles (ephemera). The condition is excellent; the paper shows its natural patina of time without extensive tears, although small signs of oxidation (rust) due to old metal pins on the left side are noticeable. * Estimated value of the document: Between €50 and €90. * Valued elements: The exceptional engraving of the Jerez cellar, the Colombian destination of the route, and the integrity of the commercial stamps make this piece a splendid collection witness.
